Google Street View Peers Underwater

Now that Google has gotten the legislative approval for driverless cars, the company is dealing with the obvious question: What happens if the car accidentally drives you off the road and into the ocean?

Until now the company’s mapping feature has stopped at the water’s edge. But on Tuesday it launched a new feature using its Street View technology to peer beneath the waves.

Joking aside, the new feature doesn’t actually provide directions for underwater navigation. And you cannot use it to zoom into the ocean of your choice. For now it simply offers cool images of selected undersea sites.
